.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn pthread_spin_init
function creates a new spinlock object, with sharing attributes specified by
.Fa pshared .
.Pp
The
.Fn pthread_spin_destroy
function frees the resources allocated for the

.Fn pthread_spin_init
and

will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er

The value specified by
.Fa lock
is invalid.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
The process cannot allocate enough memory to create another spinlock object.
.It Bq Er ENOTSUP

always set that way.
Any attempts to initialize it to a different value will trigger
.Er ENOTSUP .
